medical student guide in cooking....

today, it is my turn to cook for the whole of my housemates , 8 people including myself...

so, after returning from Austin Hospital which was my last hospital visit this year somewhere around 5.45 pm, i rest a bit and took a shower to cool down...today was quite hot (actually today was 24 C but I'm already get used to 7 C)

after rest a little while, i went to the kitchen and start to think what to cook for dinner (hehe, always never planned what to cook)...after a couple of minute full of deep profound contemplation :), i decided to cook 'ayam masak merah' plus 'sayur masak kicap' although there was not a single ketchup left in the house....

to begin with, i prepare all the materials...using the martial art skills (wink) that i learned previously at KMB, i cut all the onions, garlic, washed the chicken, washed all the dishes (there was actually quite a lot of dishes today) as fast as possible....i chopped the chicken somewhat like karate chop, i cut the onion and garlic somewhat like fast punching and not forgetting, i also washed the dishes using the aura in the same time....

after all the materials are ready...the war begins...

first, i administer the onion n garlic on the hot cooking oil, then i further administer chili sauce then tomato sauce, salt, sugar etc ...i let all those substances being absorbed in the hot boiling red liquid...absorption is important to ensure the next step in cooking, which is the distribution....good absorption will ensure fair distribution :D

after all the materials been absorbed and distributed quite well in those red-looking liquid, i proceed to the last step in cooking...the elimination step...

i let all those water contained in the red-looking liquid and in the chicken being eliminated as vapour....i let all those sweet smell being eliminated to further enhance the quality of my cooking....

after all the four steps in cooking done, which are the administration, absorption, distribution and elimination, my dinner is halfway done...

anyway, the lesson is done already...to cook, u always need to remember all these four steps....
